Hey Everyone,
Today I want to bring to you a
movie which will revive our fighter spirit in this pandemic period. In today’s
day and age where information spreads (true or fake) faster than fire. Looking
at all this both on social media as well as on news channels people’s mental
health is affected vastly as there are curbs being imposed by the respective
governments on our independence, let it be in any country. This pandemic has
taken a toll not just on physical well - being but also on mental being. Not
just that it has also impacted severely the relationships among people. But let
us look at it in a different way.
Let us go back in history when that
is during the late 1930s. When one person tried to wipe out an entire community
from the planet. People were marked, identified, coerced out of their homes,
called names, and thrown in ghettos and then God knows what happened. Families
were wiped out. Young children, Infants, Old and unhealthy were the most vulnerable
of them all. Young girls and women were raped. The atrocities, to say, were
beyond words. People who survived, were the lucky ones and others who helped
them in their quest for survival were deemed to be angels.
The movie that I am bringing to
you is a 2002 release based on a autobiographical book - The Pianist, A
Holocaust Memoir by the survivor Wladyslaw Szpilman (A Pianist and Composer)
who was a Polish Jew. Adrian Brody plays the character of the main protagonist who
did a commendable job of portraying the character of the Pianist. The family
lives in Warsaw which is attacked by the German and Soviet Forces on different
war fronts at the same time, but Germany takes control of the region in which they
live. The promised aid from France and Great Britain does not come and the Jews
are identified and taken to camps, put in ghettos.
The scene which broke my heart
was when a family is surrounded by the forces and an old man on a wheelchair is
pushed from the apartment and an entire family is killed. Dead bodies are
everywhere on the streets and people are killed on gunpoint for no reason whatsoever.
It is a heart wrenching moment when people die, and there is uncertainty everywhere.
The movie teaches us how important
human life is and what it really means to live with dignity. A section of
people was deprived of all the basic rights and sometimes had to hide
themselves to survive in the long term. Life sometimes becomes merciless, but
we should never leave our fighting spirit that lies within us. We should take
lessons from human history and learn the art of survival in the worst possible
conditions as life is not always a smooth sail. Let us all together in this tough
time be each other’s support and help one and all as much as possible for the
greater good of the humanity.
